Canterlot was not the first place Chrysalis attacked, before she moved to Equestria, she picked up a certain creature, a Dragon. His name is Shade, and he suddenly wakes up as a Changeling with only the smallest hints of his past life remaining.
Now thrust into an Invasion, he disregards the orders of his new Queen to save a single filly who he vows to protect. After being launched from the city, Shade must find a way to bring her back, but just how far is he willing to go?
With the secret of Changelings revealed, and Shade’s inexperience, he knows it is only a matter of time, just how long until he is convicted.

Love it so far when do you think the next chapter will be out? I really love this story so far don't doubt that.
6931055 Funny thing is, I already have a majority of the story finished, it all depends on when I manage to finish the final edits for each Chapter, you won't have to wait that long for the next few to come out.
6931236 excellent
Keep going. You've certainly caught my interest.
6931618 Glad to hear, I'll try not to disappoint you.
(No promises though)
Oh naos
I hope what's her face the changeling queen gets killed reAlly do
Don't the changelings know anything? Torture just makes getting information more difficult.
P.S. You are making chapters faster then I can read them. That's a first.
like it
Why does this have so few views? The grammar is good, the story isn't bad. It seems a little rushed at parts but it's more than acceptable.
6945364 same!
Care to elaborate?
6947637 Some of the stuff in here get's either pretty bad, kind of disgusting, or both. If you want specific examples I will put one below:
“I’m so sorry…” Shade said as he plunged the dagger into his old friend’s neck, piercing the tough scales. Raz screamed and squirmed as Shade held the knife in place, stopping his old friend from managing to get out, all the while he was fighting tears. The crimson blood flowed over Shade’s clenched hand, as the creature that used to be his friend began to slow its struggles. (It gets worse..)
Honestly... It is just there to warn that this story does in fact have scenes that some might not really want to read. More just a caution than anything really bad... (Keep in mind I wrote this story like... 3-4 months ago, so parts of it may be a bit foggy there aren't very much in the way of extremely detailed renders... I think...) Just in case it isn't their thing.
Soon as I saw Shady, Eminem came to mind. I'm wierd like that.
Also, why is almost the entire chapter in italics?
6949228 Going to be honest... did not notice that before...
I probably forgot about an italics thing that spread through the chapter 
I'll get right on that...
Edit: Found the problem... I put a space in the Italics majiger...
All that Work with Coding last year and I mess up with one of the top three things: Parenthesis, spaces, and spelling. It should be fixed now
so many updates so fast!
Casual cliffhanger? WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?!
Also please keep going.
I need some apple juice.
Immediately, but very temporarily.
It's "fjord," "draconequus," and "Tirek."
6960013 Thank you Sir. Also... Fjords and Fiords are the same word spelled differently, and Fiords is the one that doesn't make infinite red lines appear on my word document... So I went with that one. I do thank you for the Draconequus though... Had absolutely no idea how to spell that.
It infuriates me...
*Also from my experience, a lot of people have no idea how to pronounce Fjords
Hey, this story is being very cool! I do have a question, how many changeling hives are in you universe? If you need a hive you are more than welcomed to use my Shadow Hive. Let me know if you decide to use my hive.
6963491 Well.... I'll give you the full rundown so far
*Florishes paper*
There are so far 8 Queens that Reside within Equestria. Pupa (Warriors), Cytes (Medical), Acari (Just), Chrysalis, Ovi (Lust), Tettix (Musical), Eupha (Joyous) and High Queen of Equestria Apath.
Each of the separate lands (Griffon Kingdom, Badlands, Yakyakistan, etc) Have their own Hives and High Queens. SO far I have come up with one for the Griffon Kingdom Avaratia (Greed). There is also another Queen that I don't wish to tell you about because spoilers You will just have to wait until I get around to that one.
As for your offer. I'll try to see if I can fit it in somewhere. I like the idea of the Hives being each representative of the main facets of the race they feed on. (Greed for Griffons/ Pride for Minotaurs) But I will certainly see if I can manage it.... It certainly sounds like my style.
Also I'm glad you like it.
6963691 Your welcome! If you need more information about my hive Let me know ok? Also I have a changeling group based on my hive, If you want to join go ahead.
is there going to be a chapter where you show shining armor reading those reports and his thoughts on them
and are you taking random changeling characters for minor parts in your story?
6964125 First Question: Not really. I do not plan to have him read the reports, mostly because something else comes up rather soon.
I'll admit I'm not one hundred percent Sure how to reply to it.
as for the second question... I think the correct answer is yes?
What a nice sad chapter.
Dragon Dust? Why do I get the feeling that name is important?
Yay! You updated again!
i bet it was meadow and whats his name that hates shade that escaped
6977817 2 outta 3. Not bad
One podded pony of possibly petite presence, posture and perhaps Fillyness? Say it ain't so.
It's ok. I like reading this story.
Please let the story murder Spine soon in some horrible fashion.

OH FOR THE LOVE OF- WHY DID YOU KILL OFF MIRROR?! You always know how to play with my emotions, you're a great writer in my book.
You are by far my fav active writer. You have great quality in the story, and 1-3 chapters out daily.
Actually, that brings up a fine question. Is this all you do? Like don't you have a job or something?
6987874 Well... Actually this story was written around 4 moths ago. So everything is basically finished. I just need to proofread the chapters
I also just like writing these stories, MLP has so much Lore and story going on in the background, it leaves so much open for interpretation. Also..
I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Hah! You've been Cap'd!
p.s. I honestly don't recall if Celestia made him a captain in a previous chapter and I just forgot.
Ok, that was unexpected. When did Shade become a Captain?
6993735 Well.... Remember when Celestia said she had a pony in mind to help with the strategy... Like last chapter. (It's explained a bit better next chapter.)
6993742 Oh, ok!
Draconic Changeling Armor, I would love to see what that looks like.
6996573 Sadly.... I can't draw to save my life...
I would if I could...
Is this intended as a Danny Phantom joke reference? That's what I got out of it. That book of modern phrases must have been twenty years old in the show's timeline, add that to the years passed since the airing time and you got, what? 30-35 years? I'm digging way too far into this...
Atm, I have nothing particular to say. So I will say this. Life happens in various increments of shit. Hopefully, it won't pile so high you get buried.
I don't know why this story doesn't seem to have more viewers is a good story.
Secret plan
in the changelings hooves.
1 leave the CMC
2 ???
3 profit!
How often in a story does one say
Queen Chrysalis is alive, and well?
7046144 Alive, yes. Well, no.
